Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for three pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement covers one route to William Cobbett Primary School’s infant site on Knights Road, Farnham, and drop-off for two pupils at William Cobbett Junior School on Weybourne Road, Farnham. The two school sites are next to each other. The service involves transporting three pupils in a small MPV. Required equipment comprises one booster cushion, two high-back booster seats and a Houdini harness. This is a passenger transport service delivered in Farnham for Surrey County Council, within the council’s wider client transport provision.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to AK carz Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 14 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded contract value is £32,105.96 including gross value, in GBP. There was one completed lot covering the route and service. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was for services rather than goods or works.

This requirement suits small passenger-transport operators able to provide a small MPV and safely transport children with special educational needs and disabilities. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that it can operate a dedicated school route for three pupils, manage drop-offs at two nearby school sites in Farnham and provide the specified safety equipment: a booster cushion, two high-back booster seats and a Houdini harness. The award shows that Surrey County Council uses a below-threshold limited competition for a focused, single-route SEND transport requirement. Suppliers building a comparable service should therefore be prepared to evidence suitable vehicles, equipment, safeguarding arrangements and reliable delivery for a small number of pupils.
